Abstract
A water-shield includes a flexible body having a drip ledge. That drip ledge is displaceable between a first position and a second position. A door assembly includes a wall and the water-shield. In the second position, the drip ledge extends through an access opening in the wall to divert water away from the dry side of the wall. A related method is also disclosed.
